[pianotech] Help with a Young Chang plate

[Encore Pianos]

Hi Stan:

 

Pat's plate stitching suggestion may well be a good alternative.  But I have
to ask:  isn't this piano still under warranty?  A cracked plate can
certainly be considered a major structural defect, and if a replacement
plate is not available because of a model change, then Young Chang may well
be obligated to replace the piano.  Lacking other solutions that they could
endorse, they would otherwise not be honoring their warranty.  

 

Let me ask a dumb question.  Is there evidence that the piano has lost its
ability to hold a tuning?

  A short time ago, the lady who owns it called to report a loud
"BANG!"...and there is now a crack right in the middle of the range, going
from an agraffe to the front-row tuning pin.
